Derick Watts and The Sunday Blues burst onto the online comedy scene last year with their first single “Braaiday“, a parody of Rebecca Black’s “Friday”. That was soon followed by the very popular “Car Guard Song”, however, like so many before them, soon the pressure of being epic celebrities became too much. This exclusive video looks at the rise and fall, and rise again of the best online parody duo, ever.
Aptly titled “Behind The LOLS”, the video takes us behind the scenes of what it means to be two of SA’s biggest, if not the biggest, online celebrities. From the video’s YouTube description:
Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues’ rapid rise to fame merely fueled their appetite for online views resulting in a destructive downward spiral of cheap jokes, tasteless rip-offs and an embarassing dead end.
But even in the darkest hour there is hope, and hope can often present itself in the most unlikely of places.
Featuring Rob van Vuuren, Siv Ngesi, The Brothers Streep, Bouwer Bosch, Grant Hinds…and a very SPECIAL guest.
This is Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues…Behind The LOLS.
